Spent tri-n-butyl phosphate/n-dodecane contaminated with uranium and spent fluorine oil are stored in the Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA). The purpose of this study is to reduce the volume of these wastes, convert it into a stable chemical form, and reduce the amount of storage using the steam assisted pyrolysis system we are developing. We report on the results of treatment of several organic liquid wastes and explain the corrosion prevention methods of this system.
